Back in the day, outlaws Colt Cory (Ryan Santiago) and the Shogun (Joe
Cappelli) were accomplices - but then the Shogun tricked, defeated and
humiliated Colt, and since then Colt has vowed revenge ... and refused to
wear pants. And there's one chance to defeat the Shogun, too, in the
annual tournament he holds, where twelve contestants fight in a series of
wrestling matches to win the right to challenge the Shogun. And should one
defeat the Shogun, one even wins the hand of Princess A'Lamari (Colleen
DiVincenzo), whom the Shogun keeps as captive. However, to get to the
Shogun, Colt has to fight his way through a string of fighters with such
solourful names as Master Manchu (Berndele March), Tank (Wyatt Lozano),
Mando Lee (Robert Davis), El Gatitio Con Zapatos Azule (Jason A. Covey)
and Vivian Vicious (Jamie Morgan), and he receives some unexpected - and
really undesired - help from Junior Detective Trinix Spade (Stephanie
Ward). But of course, fighting one's way to the top is hard enough,
defeating the Shogun though a whole other matter ... Now to
state the obvious, The Man with No Pants is not the most
brain-heavy of films, has no hidden philosophical messages or deeper
meanings - but then of course it's called "The Man with No
Pants", so you probably wouldn't have expected that anyways, and if
you have ... well, I'll leave it at that. What the title does
instead suggest is a fun party movie, and indeed The Man with No Pants
is very much that, a very wild mix of western and martial arts movies,
science fiction and superheroes, pulp mainstays and wrestling, all played
tongue firmly in cheek, especially in the film's healthy employ of
clichés. And consequently, if you're in a partying mood and have a couple
of beers or the like by your side, you're very likely to find plenty to
enjoy in this mixture of madness and (well-staged) action.
